[XV] K3 locks up when XV connected

[XV] K3 locks up when XV connected

I have had my XV-144 and XV-432 disconnected for some time while working some issues with Elecraft Support. I am now hooking everything back up again, but when I attach the control cable from the XV to the K3 the K3 locks up and will not respond to any control inputs, including the PWR button. When I disconnect the control line, the K3 comes back. I have a PR6, Top Ten Band Decoder, P3, and the XVs all sharing the ACC line. This worked fine before, but I remember having this problem also in the past but I cannot remember what I did to fix it. TX INH setting? Does anyone know?

Re: [XV] K3 locks up when XV connected

I've had the same problem before, but it was always one or more of the following:

Broken or not properly soldered wire inside one of the connectors to/from the K3/transverter;
K3's XV1/XV2 address doesn't match the dip switches inside the transverter(s);
Transverter didn't have power available to them prior to turning on the K3.
